Out of the Box: 3D printing in space and safer batteries

Join two EPO examiners as they explore the out-of-this-world to everyday advancements made possible by 3D printing. From printing tools in outer space to creating smart safety coatings for cell batteries to help protect children, discover the materials science behind these additive and powder technologies. Get insight into what makes these breakthroughs truly “out of the box,” and what it's like to examine inventions at the forefront of innovation.    Host: Cristina Lopes Margarido, EPO patent examiner in culinary equipment & food treating devices   Guest: Inga Helgadóttir, EPO patent examiner in additive & powder technology
